A well-managed kitchen garden should supply a wide range of vegetables, fruit, salad crops, herbs and flowers for cutting throughout the year, and this book explains how it can be achieved. Each chapter focuses on one calendar month, setting out the tasks to be done and featuring crops that will be ripe for harvesting. Practical projects provide ways of improving produce or increasing yield, and selections of recommended varieties and their qualities are listed for each vegetable or fruit mentioned. Equipment is also discussed, from the basic cloche and cold frame to the greenhouse and the fruit tunnel, with an outline of the benefits of their use weighed against the costs of installation.

This review is from: Your Kitchen Garden: Month-by-month (Paperback)
No complaints about this transaction-it proceeded as it is supposed to. The book is quite helpful and I am hoping to inflict all these suggestions on my current garden.

Kitchen Gardening made easy,
This review is from: The Kitchen Garden Month-By-Month (Month-By-Month Series) (Paperback)
Just like the other books in the month-by-month series, this book by Andi Clevey puts you on the right track by providing a timetable for all the necessary chores in the kitchen garden. As timing is crucial for sowing and planting, this book is a very handy reference. The author is a well known expert in this field and the book is a clear and concise guide to beginners and pros alike.
